Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and bell pepper, cook until edges char and soften, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the minced hot pepper and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add flaked saltfish and toss gently to combine, warming through, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Fold in the ackee with a gentle hand—it breaks apart easily. Warm for 1 minute without stirring.
Step 5
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with crusty bread or boiled green bananas.
